i think you're describing an agency whose members don't feel sure what they're even supposed to do.

many people i know (most engineers, but not all) would say it's a symptom of "big government", the parts that exist and pay unmotivated employees as to their mission.

(i find myself wondering almost off topic how this might or might not be analogous with small kernels and big kernels in operating systems.)




The problem with the CFTC is that they should just be merged with the SEC. The wall between the two is just an odd historical oddity.


that sounds too logical ! :)

seriously though, it's true, i realize, that the idea of refactoring doesn't happen well at government agency scale, does it?
